Ecurb G Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Hello, Brand new member of this forum. Have owned many Les Paul guitars - Never had an Epi one - but, I've had a couple of Epi Les Paul basses and a really nice Sheraton. Just purchased an Epi LP Standard PlusPRO in Blood Orange. Quite impressed with the quality of this guitar. Love it. I contacted Epiphone 3 times over the last 3 weeks since I bought it with this question and have yet to get a response. I put chrome dome knobs on all of my guitars - I just like them better. Trying to buy the knobs from StewMac.com - To do that, I have to know whether it is a 1/4" shaft or a 6mm shaft on the volume and tone pots. I'm not confident that I can measure that closely to know the difference. I'm 64 and my eyes are starting to go. I've looked at all that I can find on-line to get the answer with no luck. Hoping that switching the knobs isn't a no-no in this group... Thanks in advance for any help that I receive.
dReit1 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Welcome to the group Ecurb. Without your guitar in hand I can only guess. And I would guess 6mm. MOST Epiphones use that size. I think there are a few that get US electronics but most will come stock with metric. Good luck. D
Yorgle Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Slip a 1/4" socket or wrench over the shaft. If it is a loose fit, you most likely have the metric pots.
Ecurb G Posted August 15, 2019 Author Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks, dReit1 and Yorgle - I appreciate it !
